Our bike trip to Frankfort was just perfect with this wonderful home! It was clean, provided more than just the necessities in the kitchen and was walking distance to the beach. This was our second time renting this home and we look forward to another stay.

Wonderful stay. I don't think I have ever been so comfortable (and slept well!) in a rental property. It was perfect for our family and my girls are already asking to go back. Truly steps to the beach and downtown, we have a 4 year old and a two year old and easily took the wagon to the beach and walked downtown. Hope to be back next summer!

We had a wonderful time.

Oct 13 - 16th 2023 We had a wonderful time staying in Frankfort during Fall Fest 2023. Enjoyed the parade, especially the Mutt March, the farmers market, the pumpkin drop and especially the Scottville Clown Bane while enjoying some St. Ambrose and Stormcloud in the entertainment tent. We lucked out on the weather. Enjoyed all the shops and some excellent food from A. Papano's, Dinghy's, Roadhouse & Old Town. Of course had to fill our Stormcloud Growler and pick up a t-shirt or two. Took the teenagers out to see Sleeping Bear Dunes. You know you've done ok when you can impress 3 16 year old boys. The house and amenities are wonderful and we had some cozy nights chatting and catching up. Thank you for sharing with us. Hopefully this will be the first of many Beachcomber & Birdhouse stays.

The house is lovely & is the most well-stocked of any vacation house I've ever stayed in, & I've stayed in a lot! Modern, clean, lovely decor & enough space that we enjoy each other. We loved the patio & ate dinner out there every night followed by a fire in the firepit.

Perfect Every Summer!

Our family has been staying in this beautiful house for several years now…maybe six or seven? We have lost count! The house is equipped with everything we need and it’s so comfortable and clean. It feels like home, but better….with Lake Michigan just down the street. The owners are very helpful with a notebook full of tips about Frankfort and the surrounding area. We love the location-we can walk to the beach in less than five minutes. We also really enjoy being able to walk to restaurants and shops, the library, the bookstore…it’s all accessible from this house. While we are here it feels like home, but better! Catherine and Jerry, thank you so much for another wonderful time in Frankfort, Michigan.
